Albert Einstein wrote, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
I have been told by many people that I am "abrupt", yet I find myself very "docile". I guess they have their thoughts and I have mine? Thoughts, perception, acuity, insight, views or whatever you call it… fluctuates, as we (human beings) hold different personalities and different vistas to life. You were born to become the-best-version-of-yourself. This is your essential purpose. Embrace this one solitary truth and it will change your life more than anything you have ever learned. In every situation, simply ask yourself, which of the options before me will help me become the-best-version-of-myself?
We don't need more time; we need more energy. Let's face it! There are twenty-four hours in a day. Nobody gets more, and nobody gets less. It doesn't matter how much money you have, who your father is, or how well you can kick a football. Twenty-four hours is all you get. It is probably the only way the equality we speak so much about actually exists.
The differentiating factor is energy. Energy is our most valuable resource, not time. For too long we have been subscribing to myths. Stress is bad. Downtime is a waste of time. Money drives performance. These are but a few. Stress isn't bad. Stress all the time is bad. Downtime isn't a waste of time. Too much downtime is a waste of life. Money doesn't drive performance. Passion and purpose drive performance. Energy is created by a sense of purpose and a lifestyle that integrates our legitimate needs, our deepest desires, and our talents.
Our purpose is to become the-best-version-of-ourselves. The rhythm of life is the way of life that brings our needs, desires, and talents into harmony with each other. The result: passion and energy. Life is the spending and replenishing of energy. What level is your energy at?
The first level: depressed, exhausted, burned-out, and defeated.
The second level: angry, fearful, anxious, defensive, and resentful.
The third level: mellow and serene.
The fourth level: confident, joyful, enthusiastic, and invigorated.
I am obedient while some people are provokers! When someone aggravates me, I react accordingly. I use my energy to fight for the truth!
When I bring out the facts, points and reality, people get annoyed. I guess, they lack the courage to face the truth. I don't know, whatever the problem is, I am not going to waste my precious time to react the way people want me to react. I will react in my own way! Then, if they want to tag me abrupt, hasty, or rebel - I don't mind.
I have suffered several devastating blows in my life and I am not going to let anyone take advantage of me ever, AGAIN!
So- people can judge me all they want, my advice to them is to keep the verdicts to themselves!
Best wishes,
AG
PS: I'm not abrupt, on the contrary, I'm very docile!
